The One With Bowling

 

 

Earlier today, we decided to do a family event....we went bowling!!! 

 Now, it started off a little sluggish. We tried to go to Kings in Lynnfield, but that proved to be fully booked. So we rebooted out plans and went to Sunnyside. That was a true pleasure.

We played three rounds as a family - kids vs. adults. The first string definitely went to the kids. It took Emmie and I a string to get warmed up. In fact, during my first three rolls, I actually scored a "2." I don't think I had done that bad since I was five. However, I caught my rhythm.

As Emmie and I warmed up, we evened the match during the second string. Kiff's unorthodox rolls - which netted some big gains and gutters - and Bri's trick shots that sometimes knocked down many pins and sometimes guttered - helped us get back in the game. The third string was a strong contest where Emmie and I came up on top - barely. However, Kiff did something that I had never seen before. He actually had three spares (as well as many goose eggs). 

But, in the end, it was an AMAZING time! We can't wait to go again.

The One With Kid's Day

This week, we celebrated Kid's Day. It is a day when Emmie and I take the kids and do something with them one on one. It was a great time.

Emmie took Bri to bowl. Then, they went for tea and lunch at the Wenham Tea House. After that, they did shopping and did a mini spa at home. They watched Anne of Green Gables at home. And they wrapped it up with supper.

Kiff and I also went bowling. Then, we ate lunch at Olive Garden. Yum. We went to an arcade and followed up with some ice cream. After that, we went to scootering in the park, visited the old cars, and then saw the small planes in Beverly. 

All and all a great day...and a fun way to wrap up summer.
